——It feels great to be a normal person, great to be a brother who can protect the family even once, and why am I so good at running, woo-haha! I am truly an invincible Yan Baobao!
Gu Jiao looked at the top of the tent: "Hmm, indeed you are like an ox."
-
Even though last night was a ss till late, Gu Jiao still got up before dawn.
The horizon was gray, with a sliver of white seemingly ready to break out.
Gu Jiao sat up and found two small boxes beside her pillow.
She was confused for a mont and then rembered that Gu Yan seed to have shoved sothing into her hands when he left. She was a bit muddled at that ti and didn’t pay much attention, so she placed it beside her pillow casually.
As for why there were two—
After Gu Yan left, Gu Xiaoshun seed to have co over.
He also shoved sothing into her hands.
"chanism box?" Gu Jiao looked at it holding in her hands.
These two chanism boxes were the life-saving items given to Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan by Master Lu. Despite the danger last night, neither of them used it, but they had no hesitation in giving them to Gu Jiao.
"This craftsmanship is clearly Master Lu’s."
Gu Xiaoshun couldn’t make sothing at this level yet.
Gu Jiao vaguely understood the importance of these two chanism boxes. She dressed neatly, finished her morning routine, and quietly went next door.
Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were sleeping soundly.
Gu Yan slept very well, lying still throughout the night.
Gu Xiaoshun used to sleep badly, but he forced himself to change so he wouldn’t kick Gu Yan.
Gu Jiao put the chanism boxes back in their pockets.
Gu Jiao left a note in her own room, saying she went out and would be back by afternoon.
She went out to solve the housing issue.
She returned to the National Master Hall. Aunt was still catching up on sleep. Gu Jiao didn’t wake her up and went straight to Xiao Hen’s room.
There were no classes for Xiaojingkong today, and he was up early, circling trees in the courtyard.
Xiao Hen had just changed clothes and looked ready to go out. Seeing Gu Jiao return, he quickly asked, "How did it go?"
Only he and the National Master knew about Gu Jiao going out to rescue people the previous night.
Gu Jiao said, "The Han family made a move. Everyone is safe. We stayed at an inn last night. I think it’s ti to arrange a place for them to live."
"Let’s move them into the inner city," Xiao Hen said. "We’re already targeted by the Han family. For them, the inner and outer cities make no difference. They wouldn’t expect us to move people into the inner city."
Gu Jiao thought it was feasible.
Xiao Hen said, "I’ve been looking for a mansion these past few days. The broker said there’s a courtyard that ets my needs. Do you want to co and have a look?"
Before Gu Jiao could answer, Xiaojingkong tiptoed outside the window, showing half his little head, "I want to go! I want to go too!"
The two of them took the tiny loudspeaker enthusiast and set off in a carriage.
They arrived at the agreed location with the broker. The broker greeted them politely and didn’t inquire about the identity of the one big and one small young masters Xiao Hen brought. He simply said with a friendly smile, "Young Master Long, I’ve spoken with the owner of the courtyard. We can go see it now."
The broker led the way.
Gu Jiao whispered, "Still using the na Long Yi? What about when signing the rental papers?"
Xiao Hen whispered back, "Grand-uncle made a fake permit. It’s enough to fool a broker."
Gu Jiao secretly gave a thumbs up. Grand-uncle, aweso.
Xiaojingkong held the hands of the two adults and skipped joyfully!
The family arrived at the courtyard the broker ntioned.
It was on a relatively quiet old street, most residents had moved out, and the area looked a bit old. However, the furnishings inside the mansion were new, and it had excellent light and ventilation.
Xiao Hen glanced at the broker negotiating with the property’s owner in front of them and said to Gu Jiao, "It’s close to Lingbo Academy. If you pass through that alley and head east by carriage, it only takes a little over a quarter of an hour."
Since Gu Yan and Nan Shiniang could be chased, "Gu Jiao" of the Canglan Won’s Academy related to "Xiao Liulang" would certainly soon be targeted by the Han family too.
Gu Chengfeng needed to disappear from the academy imdiately, and Xiaojingkong would continue to commute to school daily in the future.
"Do you like it?" Gu Jiao asked Xiaojingkong.
Xiaojingkong didn’t respond imdiately but looked at Gu Jiao, asking, "Liulang, did you choose this mansion?"
Gu Jiao blinked and nodded, "Yes, I chose it... I had Long Yi choose it."
Xiaojingkong extended his small arms, "Then I like it!"
Xiao Hen’s mouth twitched.
However, Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen were not very satisfied.
They had many people, and although this courtyard looked large, it only had three rooms for living.
